IMPROVING YOUR LUTEAL PHASE Your luteal phase is the time from when you ovulate to the time your period arrives. A normal luteal phase can last between 10 days to 17 days. The optimum being more than 12 days. If your luteal phase is less that ten, this is called a luteal phase defect. During your luteal phase, a fertilized egg starts in journey down the fallopian tube into the uterus to become implanted. If your luteal phase is short and your lining begins to break down too soon, an early miscarriage is likely to occur. Low progesterone levels post ovulation can be one of the culprits of an LPD. If you were to undergo Fertility testing, your doctor can check your levels to determine if this is the case. Low FSH levels can also cause a luteal phase defect. Some women have been successful in lengthening their LP by the use of Progesterone Creams and vitamin B6. Your doctor may prescribe Clomid alone or followed by Progesterone suppositories in the LP.
